A teenager in Bangladesh has won the International Children's Peace Prize for his efforts to educate young people about cyberbullying.

Sadat Rahman, 17, was inspired to create a mobile app to help young people report online abuse after hearing about a 15-year-old girl who took her own life because of bullying.

About 1,800 teenagers in his local district have now used the app.

The International Children's Peace Prize is an annual award that recognises the work of young people who promote children's rights. Previous winners include Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
